Paper directory page

[stschiff]

I would like to initiate a paper directory page. The idea is to show papers (with titles, publishing date, first author and journal) and a status indicating whether that paper is present in the Poseidon Community Archive, the Poseidon AADR Archive or the Poseidon Minotaur archive.

I am thinking this should be a static webpage, which reads a list of DOIs and then automatically generates a HTML page with a table of all papers, sorted by date and little check marks or crosses, indicating whether papers are available in the three archives.

As a prototype, this could be coded up in Python or any other language at the availability of an assigned developer.

A core task is:

1. Get a list of DOIs ready into a simple text file
2. Write a parser, which queries the web for metadata around this DOI
3. Collect stats from Poseidon archives using our remote APIs
4. Render the final table.

@dhananjaya93 @93Boy this could be something for you. What do you think?

I think it would be good to prototype this is a stand-alone command line script, which reads a text-file with DOIs and then creates the table. As a second step, we can then see how we integrate this into our webpage, or some other stand-alone webpage.

Just a thought: If we want to do this for papers that are in any one of the archives, then parsing the BibTex keys in the bib files should get a lot of the information out, right?
At least in the case of Minotaur, that should be straight-forward.

Are you now talking about how to get data from the archives? Or about how to get metadata for papers in general?

I was really thinking to start from a list of DOIs, then get the metadata via something like this and then query the Poseidon Server API for whether those papers are in the archives.

I don't see where Bibtex comes in directly. Maybe good to talk tomorrow about briefly.

Hello Stephan ,
I have gone through the tasks. The initial prototype you have suggested can be done through CrossRef API . I think I can complete a prototype as a static HTML website by this weekend.

I have planned an initial workflow based on python.

1. A DOI list in .txt format as the input
2. Use CrisRef to query the metadata for each DOI. This will include a python method to parse the JSON information.
3. Use python requests to contact Poseidon API which checks if the DOI available in 3 Poseidon archives.
4. Then use python jinja2 to create a static website that will render all that information.
   Do you have any input to add?
